VIP: May 1st
and 2nd I am not at the café. I am taking a shopping day/massage
day/eyebrow day/ and a relaxing day. I will be back at the café on May 3rd
on my regular hours. See below. If you need FULL home office reads I am
available some of the time on May 1st and 2nd.

Again I have no doubt this ‘Chat’ will be slightly boring
LOL. Why? Again as I have said many times it’s my Harvest Year in Numerology
and all I had done in the past 8 years was focus on my business. Now due to
that all of my Harvest is business. Thus I am busy doing reads most of the
days.

Updating news though: I was accepted for The Edmonton Fringe
so as I said last month I am leaving the café on July 15th [not the
1st as I mistakenly posted] and will be doing K-Days in Edmonton,
Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, then down to Saskatoon for the Exhibition and
coming back to do the Edmonton Fringe. Returning to the café on September 7th.
As I stated I will NOT be doing any home office bookings from July 15th
to September 7th. If you wish to have your large full read at my
office please book before July 15th.

This month I focused on Solomon my beloved 14 year old
male Siamese cat. Last month I wrote about his diagnosis. Now I am pleased to
report I have good news. On April 10th the vet made a home visit to check
his heart beat. It had slowed down and his breathing was much better. On April
27th the vet and a tech came back to take his blood. Yes, these were home visits as Solomon is not
a very well behaved cat at the vet at all. Most vets cannot control him. He gives
very strong growling warnings and then if the handling of him does not stop he
attacks and I mean attacks. Vets are scared of him LOL. Hence the home visits
where he is well behaved and acts like the loving cat he is even when his hind
leg is giving blood. It does cost me extra for this, but no amount of money can
make up for the love I feel for this cat. He is worth every penny I spend on him. My
little loving delight as I call him J.
The updates on the new blood tests were excellent. His thyroid is now normal,
the medication working perfectly and lastly we will do chest x-rays again in 2 weeks’
time to see how the heart looks. If the heart has strengthened then all is
GREAT. I will update you all in the June Newsletter. His heartrate is now 180 which the vet said was fabulous
compared to last month where it was off the charts and VERY weak. He seems to
be fine now. I am aware that life ends
for all, so my time spent with him now will be with this in mind.

April 12th I turned 64 years of age. As I say
every year to my countdown to pension YES now it is only one year away. What a big treat when I get a regular allowance
every month LOL. I had a very nice birthday. Lots of birthday wishes. I was at
the café doing a double and my table was decorated, the day was VERY busy with
reads, I was treated well all day and got lots of tips as the owner had put up
a big ‘It’s my Birthday’ sign on the table. I was thrilled. Then my son took me
out for dinner the next day and gifted me with a gift certificate for a
massage. Hence the massage day I am getting on Tuesday May 2nd.

Also to my horror on April 12th as I was eating
my cereal my back tooth broke. The part of the enamel around it fell out. Man
the jutted edge was painful and made my tongue bleed. Fortunately I was able to
get to the dentist around the corner from me the next day. What a GREAT dentist.
He drilled it flat so I had no more pain and took x-rays. Root is strong he
says and your gums are in fine shape. Yes we can save this tooth with a cap.
Based on my busy schedule for the café the next week I booked the temporary replacement
cap for April 27th. I will not say that I had a pleasant time but
the tooth now has a temporary cap while the permanent is made. I will return
this month to have that done. Cost? $115 for the checkup and $1635.00 for the
cap. Thank You Angels for my Harvest year that allows me to pay all this without
stress.

This month I had a consultation for getting remote
control blinds installed. Hmmmm!! Well it is NOT to be. Quote for one bay
window and two small windows was a WHOPPING $4509 from a pushy sales gal. Said
that Hunter Douglas blinds never go on sale and lo and behold what does The Bay
offer a week later? 50% off on Hunter Douglas blinds. I now have another
consult happening this month and I will see if the blinds I chose are cheaper. If
not curtains will suffice. J

I kept up yoga on Sundays at 1.00pm and Monday mornings
at 9.30am. These are the only times I can do the yin classes that are available.
It feels great, plus I make sure that
every morning I use my vibrational machine. Although it does not benefit me as
much as running would, at least it gets my blood moving.

So between taking care of my house, my home reads, the
time at the café reading, working on my company, getting GST done and paid,
getting taxes paid, taking GREAT care of my cats, doing my daily meditation,
testing new vegan recipes and whatever else came up that I had to handle, this
month FLEW by but yet again.

That folks is my wrap up. As May travels by remember that
time is the moment you are in. Live it as such and create it in a positive way.
Memories will then be GREAT and stress will be little. The old Buddhist saying
says “If you are worried about something fix it, if it cannot be fixed do not
worry”. I live by this code. I hope you can too. Meditation brings this awareness,
vegan food keeps the body healthy as long as you eat PROPER vegan food and
working at your PASSION brings joy to all of life. Fear holds you back so do
not feed this emotion. Until next month I wish you all positive thoughts.

CAT COSTS: Used
my 2nd 20% off coupon at Petsmart on tinned food and litter
combined. Kitty litter came to $49.09
and tinned came to $54.09. With my coupon it saved me $30.14. Thank You Angels.
I had enough raw food, dry food, insulin, insulin strips and everything else I
feed or give the cats. Where my main expense was this month was to the vets and
the medication for Solomon. His meds came to $133.68 and that looks like what
it will cost me monthly. [Not counting his insulin, strips and needles] Lastly
his vet bill for two house calls that took blood and checked him was $399.23.

If you are thinking of getting a pet please know that
from the cute stage, they grow with personality to adult stage. Animals feel
with unconditional love from their souls. They get attached and used to their
homes. If you cannot give up 12-18 years and maybe longer, do NOT get a pet. It
is not a companion till you find a mate, have a child, decide to move to an
apartment that will not allow pets, it is a companion for life. They also need
dental care, checkups and GOOD food. Not this cheap, no nutrient food that I
see so many people buy. Your pets will suffer later just as you would if all
you ate was junk.

Look at rescue places for loving animals. These pets will
not only be grateful, it's almost like they know you saved them and love and
adore you for it. Think before you add to your life. Can you give this type of
commitment? If the answer is yes then enjoy looking for your new companion.
Think older if you can, for some reason older pets are harder to re-home and
they are much sadder as they wait not knowing what it was they did to be
removed from the homes they knew.

My Coincidence this Month: NONE!!! So
bludy busy with reads at home, the café reads and in-between that getting ready
for the summer shows, groceries, taking care of Solomon, yoga, housework and so
much more!! Honestly life is passing me by so quickly that it appears
coincidences are not appearing at this time. My belief in that is none are
needed to change my course. J

AWARENESS

To a man whose mind is free there is something even more
intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For
with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man
who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered
every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would
be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime.- Romain Rolland,

Seven Reasons to Drink More Water That Will Surprise
You!

Being
dehydrated causes more problems than you think.

Driving
simulation tests
showed that dehydrated
men made the same number of errors as drunk drivers! The
non-dehydrated drivers had 47 errors compared to 101 for dehydrated
drivers–similar to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol!

Dehydration causes less saliva
in your mouth. Since saliva is anti-bacterial, you can give rise to bad breath when you’re
dehydrated. The worst times for bad breath are immediately after waking up
when you haven’t had any water all night and late in the day for the same reason.

Whether you dehydrate from
exercise or work at your computer, by the time you are thirsty (about 1.5%
dehydrated) studies at the Univ. of
Connecticut
show you’re already subject to reduced
memory and mental function, dizziness, loss of focus and irritability.

Dehydration reduces blood flow
through the small vessels in your brain leading to headaches and even migraines.
This is what happens with hangovers.
Alcohol dehydrates the body. Try drinking a glass or two of water the next
time you have a headache

Your body sweats when you
exercise and burns glycogen (stored sugar reserves in the liver) for
energy. When you are dehydrated, you burn more glycogen than if you
weren’t dehydrated. The more glycogen you burn, the more you crave sugar after your
workout. Also, dehydration is sometimes sensed by the body as hunger when all it needs
is a glass of water. Those familiar with the master cleanse know that
drinking a glass of water almost always turns off hunger.

Surprisingly, athletic performance worsens
with dehydration. “2% dehydration causes a 10% decrease in athletic
performance,” according to sports dietician for the Dallas Cowboys, Amy
Goodson. “And the more dehydrated you become, the worse your performance becomes".

THE
PSYCHIC SPEAKS

Unfortunately,
due to the lack of interest here, I am closing this column. As I am super-duper busy I will not be
replacing it with anything else right now. Thank You all who wrote and enjoyed
this column. In the Fall I will be adding an Astrology column plus a vegan
recipe column.
